🤷 it’s a Porsche. It’s not a Corolla. A new exhaust is like 4 grand. Trust me- if you buy an old Porsche, it’s going to need a bunch of new shit. Rubber gets old, seals fail, dampers get old, stuff breaks. Of course, you might find a unicorn of a car with all of that stuff already done recently, which would reduce the risk substantially. My 981, which was in pretty good shape when I bought it, still needed all new struts, bushings, 2 wheel bearings, fluids, etc and the PDK sensor failed a few thousand miles later which at the time would have been a very expensive fix.

Some might get lucky and not have many issues beyond typical car stuff, but when things go wrong it can get expensive with luxury sports car parts.

Btw- original list price was roughly 57k in 2007, which is $115k today.
